The Clariidae were relatively scarce in the commercial catch in the Faku area of the River Niger during the study period.
The Clariidae were abundant in August and November 1973 and in April 1974 but scarce in other months of the year in the Faku area.
The Cichlidae were an insignificant family in the Faku area during the period of this study, contributing only 190 kg to the estimated annual yield of the commercial catch, which was 1.0% of the total weight and 5% of the total numbers of fish observed.

 IRD - Catfish
Catfishes, and particularly the Clariidae, Pangasiidae and Bagridae, are important aquatic resources in Asia where their annual aquaculture production exceeds 150 000 tons.
Further development of this catfish culture industry faces difficulties related to the poorly known systematic of these fish groups, the scarce knowledge of the biology and aquaculture potential of autochthonous species, the limitation of seed supply and the declining performances reported in some cultivated stocks.

Catholic University of Leuven), who initiated this research, the phylogeny of Clariidae is being studied, based on both molecular and morphological characters.
At least one species was also caught during the Gabon expeditions, which has not been directed to one of the existing species yet, because of this taxonomical mess.
In the frame of the taxonomical study of the Clariidae, as well as the phylogenetic research, the genus Clariallabes will be revised by Mr.

The purpose of this application is to remove the homonymy between the family-group names CLARIIDAE Kutikova, Markevich and Spiridonov, 1990 (Rotifera), and CLARIIDAE Bonaparte, 1846 (Osteichthyes).
Both names are currently in use and refer respectively to a single rotifer genus and a large group of air breathing catfishes.
It is proposed that the homonymy be removed by changing the spelling of the rotifer family-group name by adopting the full genus name as the stem, giving the corresponding family-group name CLARIAIDAE Kutikova, Markevich and Spiridonov, 1990.

Members of the family Clariidae are collectively known as "air-breathing" catfishes although they are not the only catfish family capable of breathing atmospheric air.
Outside of its native range, the walking catfish is a demonstrated pest, with the potential to do severe ecological and economic harm.
In response, numerous countries have "fllisted" the walking catfish, including the United States, which has classified all members of the family Clariidae as injurious wildlife, illegal to possess without a federal permit.

Abstract: Fishes of the Old World family Clariidae are also known as the Labyrinth Catfishes.
The ‘labyrinth’ common to this family is a branched structure that is highly vascular.

CLARIIDAE Kutikova, Markevich and Spiridonov, 1990 (Rotifera): spelling emended to CLARIAIDAE so removing homonymy with CLARIIDAE Bonaparte, 1846 (Osteichthyes, Siluriformes)
The Commission has ruled that the homonymy between the family-group names CLARIIDAE Kutikova, Markevich and Spiridonov, 1990 (Rotifera) and CLARIIDAE Bonaparte, 1846 (Osteichthyes) is removed by emending the spelling of the rotifer family-group name by adopting the full genus name as the stem, giving the corresponding family-group name CLARIAIDAE Kutikova, Markevich and Spiridonov, 1990.
